PLOW ATTTACH M ENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,699, dated-December 5, 1882, Application filed September 30, 1882. (Model.)

' To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, EDWARD L. LITTON and JOHN J. BROWN, of Galfney City, in the county ofSpart-anburg and State of South Car- 5 olina, have invented a new and Improved Plow Attachment, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

This invention relates to an improvementin 'plow attachments; and it consists in the comiobination and arrangement of parts, substantially as hereinafter fully set forth.

' Reference is to behad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of referenccindicate cor- 1 responding parts in all the figures.

Figure l isa side elevation of our improved plow with some parts in section. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the same inverted. Fig. 3. is a transverse section through the beam on line 00 w of Fig. l, and Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the stock to be employed for the plow to be attached. t

We propose to attach a secondary beam, (1,

to the main beam b of any ordinary plow by means of arms or bars ad, either slotted or provided with series of holes for bolting them both to beam b by bolts 6 to set the said secondary beam more or less distant from the primary one, the said arms being permanently 0 connected to the beam to in any suitable way; but for the bar 0 we prefer to make ita branch of the side bar,f, of the stock or foot 9, for the plow to be attached, said stock, and also the stock It of the beam b, being preferably made 5 to consistessentially of two bars placed side by side with a space orslot,j, in which to connect braces k Z. In the case of the stock It its bars wilLform a yoke, m, embracing the beam band connected above it by the bolt 0%; but

stock g wilhpreferably have one of its bars, 0, extended upalongside of the beam and fastened by a staple, p, and the other branching under beam b for the connecting-arm c and a brace thereto. The bracel may be detachably bolted to the outlet the beam b and have a series of holes, g, bvwhich to shift it up and down thereon to alter the pitch of stock h, which is capable of shifting forward and backward on its bolt to as a pivot.

Besides connecting the beam at to beam bby the arms 0 d, we also propose to connect it thereto by the adjustable slotted plate s and the rod t, said rod being jointed to the plate and the beam, to allow the beam ato be shifted toward and from beam b, and from the front end of plate .9 we extend a draw-rod, u, forward through an adjustable eyebolt, w, fixed on the arm (I, so as to be shifted along said arm and secured anywhere by a clamp-nut, x, that may be required to guide the plows.

Thus it will be seen that we may have a double or single plow at will, and it is to be on derstood that we do not limit ourselves to the particular form or construction of the plowstocks here shown, and we may apply any form and size of plows desired.

Having thus fully described our invention, we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters'Patent- The combination of the slotted plate 8 and jointed connecting-rod twith the beams a and b, standard g, and the adjustable arms 0 (1, substantially as described.
